Ok, so I posted back in January that I was going to build a setup for my brother, but it still hasn't been done yet. He was dragging his feet in the finance dept. Now, with cash in-hand, ready to go.
Budget for the build is $1,000 including monitor, but we haven't picked that out yet. I told him the monitor is his decision, and he should do some homework on it. We have $200-250 left in the budget for it, and he is thinking 24" or so.
Upfront cost: $861.88
After MIR: $796.88
The extension cables listed aren't a big deal, if they end up not being needed, I am going to buy them from him. Getting them as a just in case.
The only thing on the list I will NOT be ordering from Newegg is the CPU. A locale computer shop has the following, not sure what we will go with yet... I have given him the options, but I haven't heard back yet.
We are hoping to place this order this weekend maybe.
